Ever since I started riding, I’ve been a big fan of full-face helmets. Generally speaking, I won’t even ride to the gas station without one. And considering that I have been dragged across my face in a crash once, but managed to walk away uninjured because I was wearing just such a helmet, I consider it a pretty good choice on my part.
Modular helmets make a ton of sense, though, depending on the kind of riding you’re doing. From the ease of chatting with riding buddies at stops to being able to simply pop your chin bar up over your head to run inside a convenience store for a bathroom key or a snack, there are so many scenarios where having to take your helmet all the way off and then put it all the way back on again are less than ideal.
